Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
Think i was one of the first to download it, but been away now for 48h so have not been able to test it. Just want to go home, download it to my other iphones and play around. If it is as good as I hope, i will buy an ipod touch as well to use as a dedicated remote, leaving the original remote to be placed in the bathroom or something. -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
Ok, just got home and have had 20 mins to test the application. As stated for Squidgy, I'm no fanboi of this product either, but gotdamn! To be a little more precise. You start the program, and that's it. It works 1 second later. Ok, i only have +900 albums, but there are no initializing time, no scanning time, no nothing. Furthermore, iPeng has the smartest multiplayercontrol feature I have seen. This is exactly the way it should look like. All menus and controls feels intuitive, the only thing i have to complain about, and it is not an actual complaint, is that i had to read the help file to understand how to add songs to the playlist. My intuitive way of trying to add was to mark and hold the song, but then it obviously starts playing. Not much more to say actually. Try it yourselves and you wont be disappointed. Great work Pippin, you delivered well beyond my expectations and as I hoped, i can actually make my iphones my first choice remotes! Will buy a ipod touch first thing tomorrow! -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Game On: Sonos has an iPhone app
I am so looking forward to test this as well since i really liked the UI in ipengs web-app but seldom used it due to the slow response rate which comes naturally to a web-app. Please announce when you get the approval at as many places as possible so it is not getting missed out! What price will it go for? -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54336 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Very interesting. How come no one has said a word about this until today? -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squidgy for iPhone now available in Apple App Store
Ok, bought it and tried it. Just so you don't think I am posting as a bought fanboi or anything for the app or for some of the other apps competing: I am not. First impression. Easy to set up, with autosearch it finds the player and you are alive and kickin in a couple of minutes after the app has scanned your library. The interface works really quick and it is actually a Major difference compared to iPeng's web-interface. For me, this is The Major Thing for using a 3rd party remote like the iphone. I think this is the case for most of us out there longing for the iphone to be utilized as the best remote imaginable for the squeezebox. With this said, and expected from my side, I don't really like the Now playing interface. First of all i don't like that the controls and elapsed time is constantly there. My personal view is that the more similar you can make it to the Itunes interface, the more natural and user friendly it would be to use the app. My intuitive approach is trying to sweep the cover to left or right to get to different menues and trying to tap the screen to invoke/remove the control buttons etc. Now neither of this works, rather i have to push the playlist or tap the screen to get a rather not so useful menu as a pop-down. I also would like to be able to forward/rewind on the time-progress-bar for the song in the same way i can increase/decrease the volume by dragging the volume bar left/right. I would also like the multiplayer approach to be improved. As far as i understand this function is not available? I would like to check the squeezeboxes i want to see simultaneously controls for. (if i for example have 5 SB's i would like to be able to check/uncheck some of them to have control over the ones i choose simultaneously). Actually, when looking around i don't find any setting for synchronizing players at all, but i have only used the program for 15 mins now so don't take my points as some kind of 100% accurate judgement. This was my initial thoughts after short usage of the program. The more i think of it, the more two points pop up as the most important onces. Quick navigation and response, which this app is doing great so far. The other thing is quick and easy support for navigating/synchronizing multiple squeezeboxes. So far I don't see/understand how this is done in this app. -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55073 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Duet Controller lock up
I can just second that you are not alone on that problem. Same firmware, exact same problem. -- danny041 danny041's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52736 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
